1. Actually the "make install" will default to local but will build to whatever the configure "prefix=" is set to. That's the only place "prefix" is used for the build 2. distributions vary on this actually. In fact, Macs don't even have "local" by default so mplayer is simply putting in a new layer of confusion (if the user already knows the system which is highly unlikely in the case of macs). Again, I don't think it matters one bit :) -- kanoot ------------------------------------------------------------------------ kanoot's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4324 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=22476 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins
